How to avoid suspensions, slow websites, and storage limits.
Where to Check Resource Usage
Inside cPanel, look for:

- Metrics → Bandwidth (how much traffic you’ve consumed)
Disk Usage Breakdown
The Disk Usage tool shows storage used by:
- Emails
- Logs
- Backups

⚠️ If your email inbox is full, you may stop receiving new messages.
